Okay guys, this topic is dedicated to award people in different categories, similar to that of The Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, etc. ... except this is more important. So, we'll put up categories and nominations here as they come, and we'll vote on the winners once 2009 is over. Just post here if you have a nomination and I'll put it up here. There's no limit to the nominations you can make (within reason... if you abuse that by posting a lot of stupid stuff you instantly get put into the Douchebag of the Year Nomination category). <div align="center">-------------------------------------- Red: Denotes highest priority area needed for Nominations. Orange: Second highest priority area needed for Nominations. Yellow: Third highest priority area needed for Nominations. White: Lowest priority area needed for Nominations. So here are some categories: Game Renders Post of the Year Nominations: Daecu; My Topic.; Page 100 (Nominated by Jynx_) socsaint; My Topic.; Page 101 (Nominated by Mortified Penguin) Dementia; The Gamerenderies 2009 Nominations; Page 19 (Nominated by Kirbir) Renagade; The Gamerenderies 2009 Nominations; Page 20 (Nominated by Kirbir) Jynx; Welcome Back Morv And Draxxus; Page 3 (Nominated by Mortified Penguin) Renagade; The Gamerenderies 2009 Nominations; Page 26 (Nominated by Dementia) Game Renders Thread of the Year Nominations: My Topic.

D'awwww! Thanks, Shoe! I'd nominate, but I don't think it's right for me to run this and nominate things, too. =/
Normally with award ceremonies like this, we would vote on people who have achieved nomination based on what they did up to 2009. i.e, you perform well in 2008, therefore you are up for an award come 2009. The date refers to the year of the ceremony, not the year of achievement. That way you aren't limited to awards which take place in said year.
The point of this topic is to award achievements in this year (bar the lifetime achievement award), so it's correctly titled and its intention is clear. Don't stifle the awards, inverse. You're already on my -----list in My Topic. They'll be awarded in 2010, simply because ... well 2009 has to finish up first.
